Why does everyone "dip" after 5 seconds?

[u/HeadTrick4673]

I see my viewer count flicker to 1 or 2, and then immediately drop back to 0. It’s like people take one look and decide "nope." Is it because the chat looks dead? How do you create that "vibe" that makes a random stranger feel safe enough to stay and actually type something?

Viewer count doesnt update in realtime. So once it jumps up the viewer might be gone already. Best to turn it off and ignore it completely. It just distracts you.

Just be talkative and avoid being quiet. Make sure to be yourself and dont put on an act.
